shifts like a bag of rocks, no grinding, its just hard to shift

[01QuadDak]

Got some problems popping up after my build, I don't want to put many miles on it like this, I don't want major damage to occur. Anywho-
The trans is a Shep Stage 3 5K miles on it, no rockwells, AWD burnouts, or even visits to the track(no autox or drag). Only a few street launches, with no tire spin, working the clutch. Most of the miles were highway.
The Clutch is a powertrain technologies twin disc, with metal discs, 500 miles on it.
New MC(autozone reman), SS clutch line, stock slave cylinder.

The car shifts like a bag of rocks, no grinding, its just hard to shift, lightning fast shifts are not an option.(partially fixed)

The other problem is that it grinds slightly when engaging reverse, and the car acts like the clutch is dragging.(partially fixed)

Both of these problems get worse as the car gets hot.(not fixed)

Bled the crap out of it, as well as made some adjustments to the rod, It shifted nicer at first, but as soon as it got hot, it started acting up again.

The car also will get a NASTY vibration, that will go away as soon as i depress the clutch pedal. Reverse is almost impossible once this starts.

I'm thinking i am going to have to pull the trans, and inspect everything again, but i am looking for input from people who have a twin disc setup.

I would suggest to give Shep a call before you do anything else, he might have some input in this . Meanwhile try not to drive it or it might get worse and completely give out.

That sounds like clutch adjustment issues. Still, I would pull the transmission and inspect the clutch.

Did you drive the car with a single disk clutch before the twin-disk with the same transmission? If so, how did it shift then?

What transmission gear oil are you using?

How old is the slave cylinder? Clutch fork?

Pay a shop to bleed the clutch hydraulic system, or settle-in to do it three or four times yourself.
